What a girl! A proper birthday present, better than the new spray job for me bike that was classed as "timed out" by the time i got it done. Silverstone at the end of April. With me mates, camping the night before, should be a laff. Its the national circuit, to tell the truth i havent got a clue where the track goes except for Bridge, Luffield and the straight, anyone know where i can find the track layout for the Nash Circuit. Its strange, there are other tracks that ive never ridden on that i know where they go, but not Silverstone.

Wicked big pat on the back for the Brit team with a Brit car with a Brit driver and Brit sponser. Bout kin time big pat on the back for Jensen wicked drive, the new rules have made things much better than it was recently. You really couldnt gaurantee where anybody would be. There were drivers making errors cos the cars are harder to drive but more overtaking with the 'Boost' button. I'm actually looking foreward to the next one. Edit. Er sorry seem to have gone a bit 'wicked crazy' on this post. Guess i'm a bit of a patriot at heart.

I have a 72 yamaha LT2 enduro that I bought two weeks ago for 550. I thought that it was in great shape but I keep finding more and more things wrong with it. It had a wiring issue and the headlight would not work, also it had no battery. I fixed both of those issues. Then it had poor compression and died when it was idling. I dealt with those and now I found that my piston rings are gone. Both were broken and in the exhaust pipe. I have ordered new ones for 20.00 and a new piston for 45.00. My question is when is enough enough. How long should I go on replacing things like this and do y'all think it is likely that things are going to keep cropping up this often? Keep in …

Hello! Been registered on here since last May but never formally said 'Hello'. I own a '91 FZR600 which I swapped for a Honda CB400 Superfour - seem to remember Goff being on 400GB for a while? I have found some useful advice and some bargains on here (thanks mad73!). I need to put a wanted thread up but according to the post police , I am a newbie so thought I'd finally introduce myself! Bonzo.

Hi guys Me and my friend have decided to go round Europe on our bikes in the summer and i have so many qustions!! 1) My bike is only insured TPFT, do you think this is asking for trouble on a long ride? 2) Is there any decent luggage racks for a 2008 R6 that people have used? 3) Where are the best places to go on your bike?

Hi chap's just bought myself a 57 plate R1 and am loving it !!!!!! I'm new to this forum so please be kind I had a supermoto before which was great fun, but i thought I'd try a sports bike for a change, I never knew my wrists could hurt so much after the first ride on the R1, but thank god it's getting better, (not that I'm limp wristed you know ) Anyway are there any people in the Gloucestershire / Midland's area that ride on occasion and would'nt mind a tail ender tagging along? Many Thanks

Hi all, Just wondering, all the people who have done the seat conversion to their FZR seem to have used R6 parts. Any reason not to use R1 parts of similar shape? Thanks Vic

Just leaving the town i live in doing 60mph on a slight bend, i saw a Grey people carrier waiting at an exit to a horse riding place. Assuming he had seen me (Which should of been easy as the line of sight was clear) i didn't ease off... Then bang he goes and pulls out. Slammed the anchors on thankfully (luckily) i managed to manouver and pass him on the inside stopping a few metres infront of him. He just drives passed me as if nothing had happened... I followed him to some traffic lights, pulled up beside him and asked him politely "What the fuck are you playing at you twat" He replied "You weren't at the bend when i pulled out" and "You were going far to fast" Hmmm..…

Hello everybody, Gravesone here. I've just got myself a FZR400 WG1 Genesis on a 86' plate, which I'm in the process of stripping down and bringing it back to it's former glory. I haven't had a Jap bike for over 30 years, my last one was an RD250. I'll be needing quite a bit of help and advice on the refurb. Your help will be much appreciated. By the time it's finished (12 months approx) it will take on a 'Stevie Baker' colour scheme. The previous owner has had the chain 'hand grenade' on him smashing the water-pump, I've had a quote for £241 direct from Japan , does anybody know anywhere I stand a chance of getting one? The whole bike didn't cost much…
